Scoop Continues

Briefcase - News of note

April 29, 2002

Baskin-Robbins is holding its annual free-scoop night from 6 to 10 p.m. Wednesday. For every free scoop of ice cream the company will make a donation to First Book, a national nonprofit that provides free, new books to children from low-income families.

Since the start of free scoop night, now in its third year, the program has enabled First Book to distribute more than half a million new books.

LEASE ON LUXURY

Michael Mulhall, GDC Properties project director, says pre-leasing interest is strong at Mirasol, a luxury apartment community being built at Celebration.

In fact, two of the four penthouses -- they rent for $2,400 a month -- have been taken, Mulhall said.
